PART 3 · LESSON 27 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

Not every problem calls for a remodel

A visitor couldn't find the room, Sam wants a new sign and a painted wall, and Ana solves it with a phrase on the door. Say an older gentleman looked for the room for ten minutes, we need a big sign and to paint the wall a different color, take it easy what did he read, activity room and he looked for a room with activities, instead of remodeling a small adjustment might solve it, for example, we write story hour on the door, that's it, that's it and we'll see next Wednesday, and I wanted to paint the wall.
